Team building in your office - MWB Business Exchange

It is not sufficient for your staff to simply work as individuals in the same office space or on the same project. To be efficient and effective, your staff must work as part of a team. The objectives of team building are to understand team dynamics and improve how your team interacts together.

Here are some tips on building an effective team:

1. Team dynamics ? consideration must be given to the overall dynamics of the team and its members

2. Team members ? a successful team comprises effective individuals who have experience in problem solving, are action oriented and demonstrate sincerity in addressing problems

3. Team relationships ? a successful team will consist of individuals who can give and receive feedback

4. Problem Solving ? in order to solve any problem, the team must have a clear goal and the team must be focussed on achieving this goal. This is achieved in a relaxed, accepting and comfortable environment with honest and open communication

5. Team Leadership ? a team leader must be competent and focused. They must also ensure a co-operative environment while building the confidence of each member of the team, setting priorities, demonstrating knowledge and managing performance with constructive feedback

6. Organisational environment ? the culture and climate of your business should be conducive to team performance

Working as a team is not the same as working in a group; in a team, there is group accountability instead of individual accountability. Team building fosters a team approach to working on projects. Some advantages include more flexibility in skills and aptitudes, more productivity and the encouragement of individual improvement and development.
